Feiyu took the portrait and squeezed it in his palm, "Is this child responsible? My subordinates will go and find this guy right away and cut him into pieces!"
"It's just a child. He must have been ordered by someone. Find him first. It seems that someone is eager to let me lose my life in Tongzhou."
Feiyu's eyes turned red, "These damn bastards, Your Highness, you will be fine. Subordinate... Subordinate, please go find the doctor..."
Qi Jue only raised his hand, "Don't alarm others. If word spreads that I am very likely to be infected, it will definitely make the situation that has finally stabilized become unstable again. This will only take advantage of the people behind the scenes."
"
"This matter must have something to do with the person named Pei. My subordinates will arrest him immediately. If he refuses to admit it, they will cut him in half. A person like him who is afraid of death will definitely
I’ve recruited everything!”
Qi Jue must have thought of things that Feiyu could think of, but his thoughts were deeper.
"If the other party declares his determination to die, what can you find out? What's more, there is no cure for the plague. Even if you find out, can I, the king, survive by killing him?"
Feiyu remained silent. If it could be discovered the moment the palm of the hand was pricked and treated promptly, the possibility of infection would be very small.
But the day has passed, and Qi Jue's hands are still stained with the blood of people who died of the disease, so he may have been infected...
"And I still suspect that the outbreak of plague in Tongzhou is not as simple as it seems."
Feiyu naturally doesn't understand these conspiracy theories. He only cares about one thing: "Your Highness, is there really no way out? Why don't you write a letter to Miss Yan? Miss Yan's medical skills are better than Mr. Kong's, who knows?
What can she do?"
Qi Jue's face instantly darkened, "Zhuzhu must not let Zhuzhu know about this matter, and we must not mention it again. You can go down and rest. I know this well."
"But Your Highness..."
"If you talk too much, you will be dealt with by military law!"
Feiyu could only retreat. Feiyun didn't know what happened yet, so he came over with a change of clothes, "Feiyu, why did you come out? Can you bring the clothes in for His Highness?"
"You come and see me off, I'll go do some errands!"
Ignoring Feiyun's confused look, Feiyu ran straight to the rest room.
If His Highness found out, the worst possible outcome would be for him to be beaten to death with sticks, but he could not just watch His Highness become infected. There would be no cure and he could only wait to die!
Feiyu took a deep breath, took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and asked Bai Ge to send it out.
Late at night, a man in black entered Zhizhou Mansion.
"Master, the plan has been successful, King Dingbei will definitely not be able to leave Tongzhou City alive!"
Right Prime Minister Pei showed a sinister smile, "Very good, have the children been dealt with?"
"Don't worry, Master, everything has been dealt with, and you will never be traced."
Prime Minister Pei nodded and motioned to the butler to take people down to receive the reward.
When the man in black was receiving the reward, the butler suddenly drew his knife and stabbed the man in black into the heart!
The man in black opened his eyes in disbelief and opened his mouth to say something, but the butler had already pulled out the knife. He didn't even have a chance to speak and fell straight to the ground.
After dealing with the man in black, the housekeeper went back and said: "Master, it's all done."
Prime Minister Pei walked to the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Things are going to change soon. After all, this world still belongs to their Pei family!
The next day, Feiyu knocked on the door outside.
"Your Highness? Your Highness, are you awake?"
Feiyun came over and patted Feiyu on the back of the head, "Be quiet, there is nothing to do now. Let His Highness sleep a little longer."
But after Feiyu heard no response from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in. This shocked Feiyun, "Feiyu, you are crazy. You broke in directly without His Highness's permission. But
You will be punished by military force!"
Feiyu ignored this and took a few steps to the bedside. When he found that Qi Jue hadn't woken up yet, he realized something was wrong.
I stretched out my hand and touched it like this. No, it turned out to be a fever!
Feiyu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He endured the grief and continued to call Qi Jue: "Your Highness! Your Highness, wake up!"
When Qi Jue woke up, he was lost in thought for a moment. The soreness and weakness all over his body made him immediately realize that there was something wrong with his body.
He raised his hand and touched his forehead. It was indeed very hot.
Seeing that he was about to sit up, Feiyu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but Qi Jue waved his hand and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "Go and put on the protective clothing."
"Your Highness, I am in strong health. Even if I don't wear protective clothing to take care of you, it doesn't matter!"
Qi Jue glanced at him with an unquestionable command in his eyes.
Feiyu could only turn around to change into protective clothing, but Feiyun only reacted belatedly.
"Feiyu, Your Highness, he... is he infected?"
Feiyu's eyes were red and he lowered his head to change into protective clothing. His silence gave Feiyun the final answer.
"This is impossible, how is this possible..."
Before he finished speaking, Feiyu covered his mouth and said, "This matter cannot be made public. The situation in Tongzhou has just stabilized. If word spreads that His Highness is infected, it will definitely cause turmoil!"
"Then... what should we do? Our previous protection was so strict, how could we be infected? Feiyu, do you know what this is about?"
Naturally, Feiyu would not tell the truth, and only said: "Don't worry about it, and you can't call the doctor. Before His Highness recovers, we will take turns taking care of him."
After drinking hot water and putting a cooling sweat towel on his forehead, Qi Jue ordered: "During this period, I am recuperating in the house. I will announce to the outside world that I and others are developing medicine, and no one is allowed to disturb me."
"Your Highness, you have been suffering from a fever. Why don't you find a doctor and let him take care of you alone?"
In the early stage of the plague, there is a fever, which can be low and high. If the condition is not controlled later, the appetite will decrease and various organs will begin to fail. Finally, like the patient yesterday, he will continue to vomit blood until he dies.
"No need. I know a little bit about medicine and can take care of it myself. There are not enough doctors in Yi Zhuang. It will only be a waste of manpower to guard me alone. Okay, you can go and do your work. I am fine now."
Qi Jue insisted that he was fine, but in the middle of the night, his fever turned from low to high.
On the second day, he started to be unable to eat. On the third day, he lost consciousness. On the fourth day, he actually started coughing up blood. This speed was faster than all the infected people in Tongzhou City.
Feiyun and Feiyu were anxious to death, Feiyu couldn't sit still anymore, "No, we must let Mr. Kong come over. His Highness's situation cannot wait any longer!"
Just when Feiyu was about to go out to repair Kong Ci's book, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Your Highness, are you there? There is an urgent matter. There are not enough herbs to treat typhoid fever in the city. How can we find these herbs if we can't get out through the city gate?"
